I’ve been writing news for almost 20 years & this is the hardest interview I’ve ever done. To watch a #homeless child cry & show shame she doesn’t own for being homeless. ‘Ciara’, her mother & I carried on to tell this story because it had to be told. m.independent.ie/irish-news/…

Once again ignoring what the people want
And destroying a beautiful building
Seriously on brand for Dublin City Council though ..

💯 Trump is going to also destroy the U.S petro economy!

Genuinely at the stage where I simply don't understand why the U.S. isn't ousting him.

J D Vance should not be in Budapest. He should be in Washington DC organising the US Cabinet to declare Trump unfit to exercise the office of POTUS. This is simply disgraceful and a stain on the United States.

One tiny shred of good news. How about Europe and the UK also stands up against America!
The UK government signaled it won’t let the US use British military bases for strikes on Iranian energy or civilian infrastructure after President Donald Trump threatened an escalation of operations against Tehran. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

By the way a threat to end a civilisation is GENOCIDE. This is a U.S President!!!!!
"A whole civilization will die tonight"
Donald Trump has issued a statement on Truth Social, seemingly referring to his deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
He adds "maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?".

Just what everyone needs. America, Israel, destroying innocent lives and causing a global economic catastrophe. I mean how clever….
Apr 7
Looks as though an invasion of Kharg Island, the terminal for nearly all Iranian oil, looms.
Iran will inevitably respond by hitting key Gulf energy infrastructure.
Time to brace for a global economic depression.

Loved this read. God it’s hard being a woman and Louise O’Neill gives perfect insight to one woman’s experience but it’s great to hear light too! independent.ie/life/louise-o… Louise O’Neill: ‘I wanted to write the book that I’d like to have read in the early days of my break-up’

Today, on my lunch, I had the most incredible experience. Random people I met talked to me & opened up to me. Just while I was literally getting bits! I got numbers for stories & was reminded by how incredible normal Dubliners are. I will always ❤️Dublin.

The Geneva Convention says it’s a war crime to target journalists, even if they work for an enemy organisation. It’s also a war crime to target medical workers. After the killing of 3 Lebanese TV journos last week, several medics coming to help them were killed as well.
